current setup:
CPU: phenom II x6 1090t
GPU:MSI R9 290 (i upgraded last year)
RAM:12 GB, one newer stick (8GB) and an older one (4GB)
current motherboard:AsRock 880GM-LE
HDD:i dont know, but it has 2TB

So, i decided to upgrade my cpu, i think Intel Core i5-4590 is the best for the price i could find.
But now i dont know much about motherboards and was wondering what one i should get, since my current does not have the socket required for i5-4590, i would also like to keep it under 100$

Since you have a mATX board already I'm not sure about your case so this would fit just the same as what you have and is a very good choice with that processor.

You do know that you will need to do a fresh install of windows when changing motherboards right, this may also include buying a new operating system license depending on the type of windows disc you have.

Sometimes it will activate and sometimes it won't.
The same with making the phone call not always going to work.
